What a Time

People formerly had, trying to swallow
the old-fashioned pill with its film Of
magnesia vainly Disgusting its bitter
ness; and what contrast to Ayers
Pills, that have been well called "med-
icated sugar-plums" only fear be-
ing that patients may be tempted into
taking too many at q dose. But the
directions are plain and should be
strictly followed.
]. T. Teller, NJ. D., Of Chittenango,
N. Y, expresses exactly what hundreds
have written at greater length. He
says: ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form
and coating, and their effects are all
that the most careful physician could
desire. They have supplanted all the
Pills formerly popular here, and think
it must be long before any other can
be made that will at all compare with
them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
~Safe, pleasant, and certain in
their action" is the concise testimony
of DR.. George z. Walker, of Martins
vile, Virginia.
"Ayer's Pills outsell all similar prep
arations. The public having once used
them, will have no others" Berry,

The victim weltering il his

Two NERVY MEN.

Speaker Carlisle defined modern Democracy in his recent speech be. fore the Bay State club, and compar- ed it with the old. The principle of local self-government he declares to be the vita! part of Democracy, new or old Twenty-Five years ago there was a purpose to carry this doctrine of states rights to the ex
 treme, but at present the danger comes from concentration of the powers of government in the national government. MT. Carlisle especially denies that states rights, as under stood by the new Democracy, sane
 ton either nullifcatiCn or secession but says that, that doctrine reserves to the state all powers not delegated 10 the United States by fair con. struction of the constitution. Mir.
 Carlisle's definition of states rights is one that will not be vehemently disputed by the Republicans The question is, What IS a fair construc- ton of the constitution? Webster and Calhoun used to debate that proposition in a more exhaustive manner than any constitutional ques- ton has since been discussed, but neither could convince the other that his construction was wrong. The tide of events has decided that Web ster was right. He represented the national idea, and when the case was appealed to the court of last resort, of which General Grant was chief justice, the national idea won. Admitting the secession theory to be disposed of forever, there are many minor points upon which there are differences Of opinion between the states rights Democrats and the op- posite school of politicians. One of these minor points IS the proposition to distribute the surplus of the United States treasury among the states in the form of an educational fund :. Another is the recent decision of the Supreme court declaring unconstltu- tional state law imposing an especial tax on commercial travellers.
 The latter is entirely a question of construction. The federal constltu- ton clearly forbids any tax on com merce among the states, but it is not so clear that a tax on commercial travellers imposed without reference to their place of operation is in the sense of the constitution a tax oh commerce. The local government everywhere has the power to impose laxes, and 1t has not yet been made clear why rhe fact of traveiing from state to state should wogE exemption. ! There are people who adyccate a luallynd manage law and a national divorce law. u IS urged ruaI tEeae

OriSion Of Names.

The Greeks with few exceptions, had no family Cor sire) names. The Romans had three names: I. A proper name (pranomen), the dis tindtion of the individual, like our baptismal or Christian name. 2. The name of the class (nomen). }. The family name (Cognomen). Some times to these were added, on account ot aCt of valor or event, a fourth name (agnomen), as Publius (pren. omen) Cornelius (the clan of Corner liu5) Scipo (the family) Africanus (the agnomen, because of his victor les iu Atrica.) The prsnomen was generally not written in full as M. for Marcus, P. for Publius, ect,; as M. Tulius Cicero-i. e., "Marcus. :. to distInguiS him from his brother, Qulntius rulllus, the clan, and Cicero the family. In Germany and the Tuetonic nations family or surnames Cor, as 1t should be spelled, sirnameS" -i. G.. sire or fathers name) were little used before the fourteenth cen tury. Everyone had baptismal name only. The most ancient method was to add the fathers name to their own Johnson, Williamson. Davidson, etc. The Arabans still follow this custom-e. g., Halls son Yoar is called Ebu Hail (Hails son) and Yoar's son would be Ebu Yoar. The surnames given in England about the time of William the Conqueror were selected, like the agnomen of the Romans, from some peculiar Cir cumstances relating to the Indlyidu
 al. Thus, the earl of Anjou obtained the surname Of Plantaganet from the we'll known Piantaganets. Fitz (from the old French fills, meaning "son, Mac (scottish), Alp (Welsh), O. (Irish), Ez z'(Spanish), and Ben were all preiixes meaning in those several languages "sou." But Fritz meant nleguimate son The 2erman son, Swedish son, Dutch. son are the same.

The Winslow Murder.

The story of the killing of G. W. Gorton seems to be involved in in- extricable mystery:
 The following account from a resI. dent of Winslow seems to give as clar an insight into the facts as can be obtained.
 It is very difficult to ascertain the facts about the lamentable affair which ended in the death of MT. C.. w. Gorton. It seems that MT. Cor ton and Brown on the one side got into an altercatIon and fight with P. C. Jacoby and John Skeggs in the card room of Thompsons saloon. The causes and circumstances of this affair are best known to these four parties. It IS certain however that Mir. Jacoby left the room with some bad bruises, and vowing vengeance. MT. Skaggs was roughly handled also.
 About a half hour after, Gorton and Brown started to go home, when some one met them and said Jacoby was laying for them with a gun. Gorton returned and borrowed a shotgun at the saloon. Having gone out Brown started to ride into the saloon. Gorton expostulated against his doing so, and was standing near Brown. Suddenly there came shot. Gorton fell saying. "Brown you have killed me" Brown said "No 1 didn't" Gorton said "Yes, you did" Brown replied "No by G-I l didn't" "
 Another shot and then several shots were fired in which Thompson was wounded in the leg and Brown left on his horse firing back. GOrton also fired both barrels of his gun al Brown as he retreated. Two per sons were also fired upon going into the back yard of the saloon and store. This is the story as nearly as we can learn it.
 The first shot mortally wounded Gorton, so say all. Who fired It? Gorton evidently thought Brown did, so dld the witnesses at the coronerS inquest. Yet strange to say no one saw him do it.
 May after all the shot after all have come from the roof of the saloon! These are questions that now seriously agitate the minds ot the people.
 The shot evidently came from above as the ball ranged downward through the liver and bowels, Brown certainly fired at the men in front of the saloon for no one else could have hit Thompson, but why did he not shoot again at Gorton, and why did he so stoutly deny shooting him.
 He had no quarrel with Gorton. He was Gorton's frienG, and no harsh words had passed between them. Where Is Jacoby? Why did he leave?
 The matter must remain one of that inexplicable kind, o! which there are many witnesses yet all so excited or bewlldered that it IS hard to arrive at a certainty from the!r testimony.
 G. w. Gorton had made a great many friends in Wlnslow he was a good and generous fellow, who would not see any one abused 1! Il was Tn his power 10 prevent 1t. Never was there q kinder husband or a fonder father. He was a noble man. in every sense of the word. He leaves d wife and two children to mourn his death. G. ". Gorton was member of the Baptist church. always lived an upright and honor able life. He came to Arizona on account of his diseased lungs and took tho position as manager of the Waters Cattle company which he filled with recognized ability.
